Re: Having Unix to unzip a file and Perl to wait untill it finishes

You can also use Tie::Gzip, something like:

use Tie::Gzip;

tie *CONTENT, 'Tie::Gzip';
open(\*CONTENT, "<$input") or die "Can't open $input\n";
while(<CONTENT>){

...
}

All well and good, except `gzip` and Tie::Gzip don't handle `.zip` (i.e. containing multiple files as the OP says) files . . .	[reply]
